Canz

ABSTRACT

My invention is a game called Canz that youth play as a hobby. Canz is a two player game that requires a ball and can be played with one or two condensed cans. The two condensed cans are placed ten feet apart from one another on the sidewalk. Each player stands behind their can and take turns throwing the ball at their opponent condensed can. The condensed can must be placed in the appropriate spot on the line before a shot attempt is taken. Players may move further back to increase their point value. The line where each player can is placed represents ten points and each line after that represents increments of ten points. The first player to 100 points total is declared the winner.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is in the technical field of sports. More particularly, the present invention is in the technical field of games.

The present invention is a game that is played with two players taking turns throwing a ball at a condensed can. The materials needed to play Canz are a ball, one and/or two condensed cans. Each player throws the ball at their opponents can that is centered on the designated line. Each line starting with your can represents increments of ten points. The first player to hit the condensed can and reach a total of one hundred points is the winner. When Canz is played with one can, each player throws the ball at the same can. The point system remains the same and the ten point line will be six feet apart from the can on each player side. When Canz is played with two condensed cans, the cans are placed ten to twelve feet apart.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a game that requires two player, one and/or two condensed cans, and a ball for users to play.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

FIG. 1 is a top view of a Canz court where the game is played of the present invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the invention in more detail, in FIG. 1 there is shown a condensed can 10 centered on the point value line ten 12, with point value line twenty 14, point value line thirty 16, point value line forty 18, and point value line fifty 20.

In more detail, still referring to the invention of FIG. 1, the ball 22 as shown is thrown at the opponent condensed can 10 and the players may take shot attempts from point value line ten 12, point value line twenty 14, point value line thirty 16, point value line forty 18, or point value line fifty 20.

In further detail, still referring to the invention of FIG. 1, the condensed cans 10 are placed ten to twelve feet apart. Each point value line between 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 are five feet apart from each other.

The construction details of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 are that the condensed cans 10 be made of aluminum or of any sufficiently strong material such as metal. Further, the point value line 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 can be further than five feet apart.

The advantages of the present invention include the exceedingly easiness to play the game. Further, the game can be played indoors or outside.

In broad embodiment, the present invention is a two player game played outside that requires ball, one and/or two condensed cans.

While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is considered presently to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should therefore not be limited by the above described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention. 

1. What I claim as my invention is a game Canz that consist of: one and/or two condensed cans placed ten to twelve feet apart on a concrete sidewalk, including a ball that is thrown at the condensed can(s), point values in increments of ten are placed five feet apart behind each player condensed can starting with the players own condensed can, and players take turns throwing the ball at the opponents condensed can until the designated point value is reached.
